An established name in Phuket’s hospitality landscape, Twinpalms Hotels and Resorts recently unveiled its third property on the island, this one undeniably distinct from any other hotel in Phuket. Opened officially on December 1, 2024, the Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort, as its name suggests, is located on one of the western coast’s most attractive areas – Bang Tao – where the iconic Catch Beach Club is also situated. 

This tented resort takes glamping to the next level, emphasising romance and elegance by creating a luxury safari-like atmosphere within a Thai tropical environment. Expanding on an existing collection of beachfront tents, the new property adds 23 lagoon-side accommodations that include one- to two-bedroom luxury tented suites with private pool options. 

Each tented suite has been thoughtfully designed with refined interiors that seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living. Neutral-toned palettes, bespoke natural furnishings, and impeccable finishes, such as stitched leather accents on doors and drawers, add to the sense of understated elegance. Within this homey yet upscale space, you can even order a private in-tent massage service for you and your loved one – a perfect way to commence your luxurious glamping vacation. 

The central lounge is truly a masterpiece of the resort. Overlooking a serene lagoon adorned with giant water lilies, the open-plan space features a sprawling wooden deck where guests can unwind in blissful tranquility. During the day, the lounge serves refreshing coconut water, artisanal coffees, and fine teas, while evenings transform the space into a haven for cocktails accompanied by the gentle melodies of traditional Thai music.

For more serious mealtimes or alternative options for cocktail hour, the tented resort is blessed with being surrounded by both fantastic casual outlets as well as gastronomic destinations. Of course, there’s the aforementioned Catch – perfect for all-day dining and sipping, complete with relaxing views of the Andaman Sea. This is also where daily breakfast is served for guests of the tented resort. 

Another option just a short stroll or complimentary buggy ride away from the resort is The Lazy Coconut, a more tropical, laid-back beach bar and restaurant that highlights tapas and charcoal oven-cooked seafood and meat specialities. For the meat-lover, Wagyu Steakhouse is a must, boasting imported prime cuts cooked to perfection alongside an extensive selection of wine. Finally, for a Mediterranean option with a sophisticated twist, try Kalido helmed by veteran chef Tammasak “Noi” Chootong, who is a culinary icon of Phuket.

Beyond its luxurious facilities, the resort places a strong emphasis on connecting guests with nature and culture. The biophilic design encourages a seamless interaction with the environment, while curated activities add a meaningful layer to the experience. Guests can partake in sunrise meditation, morning yoga, or even a unique chime-hanging ritual. For a cultural touch, workshops such as lotus petal folding and mango sticky rice tastings provide an authentic Thai experience. The central camp fire at sundown, in its simplicity, is another enriching experience that guests can enjoy at the end of the day, while yacht cruises or more adventurous opportunities to explore nature can also be arranged. 

With Valentine’s Day and the Thai New Year upcoming, Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort stands out as a unique luxurious experience in Phuket to share with loved ones for some core memory-making.
